I applied for B1/B2 visa with interview waiver and my application reached us consulate in Toronto on 2 May. At the ceac site it stated application received, case created 9th May and application updated on 9th May. I checked today and it stated application updated 23rd May and nothing else. What does this mean as no update on application was stated. Can anyone help and let me know what this means.

Hi folks,

I dropped off my passport for B1/B2 interview waiver at the post office on May 13. Subsequently the status shows as Case created on May 16 and last Updated May 23, but overall still in 'Application Received' status.
Anyone else with similar dates?

People who have applied for Drop box at toronto counslate, what was the waiting time before you received request to submit documents. My previous VISA was from toronto but after seeing the turn around time, I am thinking to go for ottawa. Do you think that would be an issue? thank you for your help.

After I qualified for drop-box, I received the instructions email in 1 week, even though the original email said wait time of 5 weeks

Thank you for your reply. Can you tell me how much time it took for you to receive the passport back?

Hi, in this case of booking at a different location like Vancouver, we will fill out DS 160 for Vancouver but just use the reschedule option to pick Vancouver? Assuming initial appointment was scheduled in Toronto.

US B1/B2 Renewal with Interview Waiver at US Consulate Toronto

Application Submitted: Oct 17, 2023
E-mail for Documents Received: Nov 8, 2023
Documents Sent: Nov 9, 2023
Documents Received: Nov 10 2023
Application Received DS-160 Status: Nov 20, 2023
Application Approved DS-160 Status: Dec 9 2023
Visa Issued DS-160 Status: Dec 11, 2023
Expected Delivery: Dec 13, 2023 (Toronto)

Thanks to all that shared their updates previously. In summary, from the date you submit your DS-160 application (after payment), if no interview/additional documentation required, one should expect their application to be completed in 2 months. Out of this your passport will be submitted for a month. Hope this helps, Good luck to all and stay positive!

I was interviewed for a B2 visa on Dec 7, 2023, in the Vancouver Consulate, but my case needs administrative processing. The officer told me that I would receive an email with the DS-5535 form to fill out and send back with some additional documents. I have not received the email yet. Does anyone have any experience with how long it takes to receive the email? Should I email the required documents and ask them to send me the DS-5535 form?
Hello di ,, i am in same situation can you please let me know how long it took for you to get your visa ????
